Temple of Olympian Zeus & Ancient Agora Entry Tickets

For the Temple of Olympian Zeus, take line 2 (red line) to Akropoli station, a short 5-minute walk from the site. For the Ancient Agora, take line 1 to Thissio station or line 3 to Monastiraki station; both are a few minutes' walk from the gate on Thiseio Square, which is the entrance currently in use.

Lines 1, 5, 15, 57 and others stop on Vasileos Olgas Avenue, directly in front of the Olympieion entrance. For the Ancient Agora, bus 227 stops in the Monastiraki area, a short walk from the entrance.

Both sites are easy to reach on foot from central Athens. From Syntagma Square the Olympieion is approximately a 15-minute walk south along Amalias Avenue, and from the Acropolis it is a 5-minute walk downhill. The Ancient Agora lies at the foot of the Acropolis hill.

Taxis are widely available throughout Athens. They can drop you at the Olympieion entrance on Vasileos Olgas Avenue and beside Thiseio Square on Apostolou Pavlou Street for the Ancient Agora gate currently in use.

It covers access to the Olympieion archaeological site with the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and to the Ancient Agora archaeological site and the Agora Museum, plus the Digital Guide app. The exhibition on the floor of the Stoa of Attalos and the Church of the Holy Apostles have been closed to the public since 1 November 2025.

It includes two separate entries, one per site, confirmed together in a single booking. Both sites require timed entry, so book in advance to secure your preferred time slots, especially during peak season.

Both sites are open daily and hours vary by season. The Olympieion is open from 08:00 to 20:00 in summer (April 1 to October 31) and from 08:00 to 17:00 in winter (November 1 to March 31), with last entry 30 minutes before closing.

The Digital Guide app is included with your tickets. The Hellenic Heritage Digital Guide app is available in 8 languages: Greek, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese, with sign language video tours in Greek Sign Language (GSL) and International Sign (IS). The Athens city audio guide is a separate optional add-on you can select when booking.

Both sites have partial accessibility. The Olympieion and the Ancient Agora are archaeological sites with uneven terrain, so some areas may be difficult to navigate. Wheelchair access towards the Temple of Hephaestus is arranged through the Thiseio Square entrance by contacting the site in advance, and both levels of the Stoa of Attalos are wheelchair accessible.
